Game

Game

The pressure the ball
The fans the noise
The grace the amazement 
It is just a game In the head but not the heart

Naked

To relieve
the pressure
on my brain
I took my cloak
from the shadow
for the moon
had cast me
in an indifferent
light.

Meteorological Depression Haiku

Warm front then cold front
Low atmospheric pressure
Cloudy windy rain

Pulse of a Cat's Heart

Rises when trapping a rat
Not once has it suffered
From high blood pressure
The rat it cashes for meals
It enjoys in calm peace


Under Pressure

Pressure,
Boxing me into this two foot,
By two foot-
Space,
The thrill of the future,
The chill of the past,
None shall last.

Dream under the Moon
hold the world tight in your arms; 
Midnight fantasies 
Nine a.m realities; 
Stars are made out of pressure.

A Moving Limerick

The story of Gary and Sue
Is one of multiple moves
It's six at last count
The pressure does mount
To ditch everything but the booze.

And behold, I'm shocked.

Lying on the leather couch.

Make a snide remark.

Making nightly pray.

Whisper in your ear, "Be Mine".

The day begins with a lie
It is mine
There is no shame
I have been taught to lie
By a society 
That hates truth
And I rely on it....

Father wants breakfast
Groaning to find the settings
To high, four minutes, and on

Take my pulse
And blood pressure
And let it sink deep

Drivers
                      Roll over.
                Screws, flip over.
   With pressure, twists and turns
                         Safer.

Premium Member Pre op Dr Appt

Anxiety 
Blood pressure soaring
What are they going to say?
Are they going to poke and prick me again?
There's no where to hide in this room!

Civil Unrest

a chastushka

Civil noncompliance like whiskey
ages slow with pressure until...
Laws that render conscience risky
should be labeled a reflux still.

Choices

How easy it is 
For a beautiful thing to be destroyed
For a soul to collapse
Under pressure
For a smile to go elsewhere
While emotions scatter

Abide thy time
Away with pressure
Abandon thy worries
Abate thy storm
Abject thy pride
Ablaze thy fire
Abode thy self
Absolute from redemption.
